Tahkenitch Lake

It was a fine warm overcast day to canoe Lake Tahkenitch. The overcast made for little wind and great difuesed light for taking pictures. Martin and I put in up 5 mile arm and launched a Mad River Canoe I wanted to test the repaired seats of. I had refinished the bright work and replaced the wicker seats with parachute cord I wove around the ash frames.

This sea monster looking at its reflection greated us as we paddled for the quaking islands.

You can see the ripples in the water as Martin walks on the edge of the floating vegetation.
Animal trails mostly beaver and otter have worn the thick moist moss with their little feet.
This is a beaver lodge hidden in the rushes. You see very few lodges for beaver in Oregon mostly they just dig a hole in the bank of the lake or river.
